In depth
Verdict
HAIL TIBERIUS was racing from 10lb higher a year ago and produced his best run for a long time in an amateurs' race at Doncaster on his return. He had Simple Jim a long way behind and looks capable of gaining his first success. Capable Guest is another who has dropped in the ratings and is 8lb lower than when scoring at Yarmouth last May. The lightly-raced General Duke's ran quite well on his handicap debut at Thirsk recently and can make further progress while Hurlingham is well treated on his second to George Adamason at Ripon in August when Capable Guest was three lengths behind.
